I need a scotch recommendation or two...

Tim, Balvenie was our office pour back in the days when another attorney came by after 5:00 and courtesy required we offer a drink. I liked the Founders Reserve 10 yr but a bottle of Doublewood would crop up occasionally.

You can never, ever, go wrong with a Macallan. Arguably the most widely appreciated single malt in the world and with good reason. Their production process is complex and no expense is spared. They (according to them) spend 2x as much on their barrels as all the other distilleries combined!

You can read in-depth about their process on the Macallan website, from the temperature of the water they use in their wart to details on their own cooperage in Jerez, Spain

There is only one scotch I really like, so it is the one I always recommend - The Balvenie. My favorite expression is the 15 year old single barrel, but they are all very good.

Their new peated cask is rather exceptional.

Of the Macallan expressions my favorite was the 10 yr old which may not still available.

As far as Macallan goes, I'll take the 12, 18 and Cask Strength offerings over any of the 10 year stuff.

There are much better (IMO) Scotch whiskies out there, than Macallan.

I agree Eric, I have always preferred Edradour over Macallan.
